nPassword Protection
« on: January 25, 2012, 10:04:29 pm »
I think that I could make a program in c that would secure our nspires with a password by defining the password using the scanf function. The only problem is, how will I get it to run on the startup of the calculator, and how will I make the password able to be defined by users of the program?
Note: If i can get this to work, someone will have to compile it into a tns file for me.

It's very doable but you're going to have to do quite a lot of the leg work yourself.

I would be looking into Ndless's startup hook and start by modifying that to create a custom Ndless with password protection.

The password could simply be stored in a plain text file - possibly away from the documents folder so it can't be easily replaced.

If I had the time, I would write it myself XD
